Power cut update

Good news - all 1,641 buildings affected by the power cut now have a supply again.

A spokeswoman for Western Power Distribution told me the outage was caused by a fault on an overhead power line.

No one was injured in the incident, which happened in Front Street on the afternoon of September 4, but officers from Nottinghamshire Police have launched an investigation into the assault.

If you recognise the man or think you can help officers with the investigation, contact Nottinghamshire Police on 101 and quote incident number 403 of September 4.

Fire update

I have an update on the house fire that broke out in Dalestorth Road, in Sutton-in-Ashfield, in the early hours of this morning.

Crews were called to the house at 6.42am this morning after receiving reports of a fire in a bedroom.

It took firefighters around two hours to extinguish the blaze.

When we published the story this morning we didn’t know if anybody had been injured at all. I’m pleased to say that Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service has just confirmed that nobody was injured during the fire.

Park and ride update

Following on from my earlier post about parking and the Goose Fair, NET now says that only two of its park and ride sites have available spaces.

Clifton South and Toton Lane are the only park and ride facilities with spaces available. The Forest is closed due to the Goose Fair and all other park and rides are now full.

Have you seen missing Carrie-Anne?

The 35-year-old was last seen in Stanton Hill, part of the Ashfield district, at 8.45am on Monday.

A spokesman said: “City centre car parks may be slightly busier than usual but this is not just down to the closure of the Forest Park and Ride for Goose Fair.

“We tend to see an increase in city centre car park use around this time of year, with people coming back after their summer holidays, students returning to university and then a build-up to the Christmas shopping period.”

Have you picked up a copy of the paper?

Today’s front page carries the story about the collapse of Monarch Airlines.

Customers across Nottinghamshire were left reeling from the news yesterday that the company had collapsed and cancelled all future flights.

We have a couple of stories online about how people in the area have been affected by the collapse of the airline company:

Is this a large increase?

A report prepared for a meeting of the Nottinghamshire and City of Nottingham Fire and Rescue Authority shows that that a total of 2,987 incidents were attended between April and June this year, an increase of 467 during the same months of the previous year.
